#7FFDEC

sRGB: 127 / 253 / 236

Wandering spirits reshape eternity
Unbridled forces illuminate forgotten empires
Infinite wonders awaken sleeping galaxies

#7FFDEC belongs to the cyan family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 127 red, 253 green and 236 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 171.9° lands in the cyan region. Its 96.9% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 74.5% on a scale from black (0%) to white (100%). Of black and white lettering, black has the clearer light-to-dark separation on this background (17.16:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

CMYK uses a profile-free approximation. Printed output depends on the press, ink and paper. Lab uses a D65 white point.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #7FFDEC in light and dark. The ratio compares relative luminance, a measure of light weighted for human vision. Identical colors give 1:1 and black against white gives 21:1. A ratio of 2.99:1 falls just below the 3:1 AA minimum for large text. Body text needs at least 4.5:1 because its finer strokes are harder to distinguish.

Black text: 17.16:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.22:1

Normal text: Fail
Large text: Fail

AA and AAA are WCAG accessibility levels. AAA sets a higher bar: 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text. Large text begins at 18 pt regular or 14 pt bold. Ratings use the unrounded ratio.

Palettes & scales

Harmonies rotate the hue. Scales mix the starting color with white, black or middle gray in 20% steps in encoded sRGB.

Complementary

#FD7F90 sits half a turn (180°) from #7FFDEC on the HSL wheel. Keeping saturation and lightness steady while crossing to the opposite hue gives you a contrasting accent. Check text contrast separately before using the pair for lettering.

#7FFDEC #FD7F90

Analogous

#7FFDAD and #7FCFFD sit 30° to either side of #7FFDEC. The three hues are neighbors on the wheel, so you can change the color of a border or highlight while keeping it close to the original.

#7FFDAD #7FFDEC #7FCFFD

Triadic

#7FFDEC, #EC7FFD and #FDEC7F are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#7FFDEC #EC7FFD #FDEC7F

Split complementary

Start at #7FFDEC and look across the wheel. #FD7FCF and #FDAD7F sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#7FFDEC #FD7FCF #FDAD7F

Square

Starting with #7FFDEC, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #AD7FFD, #FD7F90, then #CFFD7F. Across the square, #7FFDEC pairs with #FD7F90, and #AD7FFD with #CFFD7F.

#7FFDEC #AD7FFD #FD7F90 #CFFD7F

Tetradic

#7FFDEC and #FD7F90 are opposites, as are #7F90FD and #FDEC7F. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #7FFDEC appears in each simulation. When two chart lines or status indicators become hard to tell apart, a label, shape or line pattern gives readers another way to distinguish them. Individual perception varies.

Protanopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from long-wavelength cones, some reds and greens can look alike, and reds can appear darker.

Deuteranopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from medium-wavelength cones, some greens can be difficult to distinguish from reds or browns.

#DEE2EE

Tritanopia

A blue–yellow color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from short-wavelength cones, blue can resemble green, and yellow can resemble pink.

#39FFF8

Protanomaly (50%)

An altered long-wavelength cone response can make reds appear dimmer and harder to distinguish from greens. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.

#D3F4EC

Deuteranomaly (50%)

An altered medium-wavelength cone response can reduce the visible difference between reds and greens. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.
